This error means you're trying to insert a row with a value that already exists in a column with a unique constraint. Review the data in your import file for duplicate values in the constrained column. You can either remove duplicates from the import file, update existing records instead of inserting new ones, or temporarily disable the constraint (not recommended for production environments).
